About Your Trip

Chase the mighty Silver King with Captain Andy on an unforgettable Tarpon adventure through Pine Island Sound and the world-famous Boca Grande Pass!

If landing a Tarpon is on your bucket list, this is the trip for you. Known for their incredible strength, jaw-dropping jumps, and legendary status among saltwater anglers, Tarpon are one of the most thrilling game fish in the world—and Captain Andy knows exactly where to find them.

Fishing out of a fully equipped 22’ center console powered by a 225 HP Yamaha, you’ll have the speed and mobility to hit all the best Tarpon spots in Pine Island Sound and the Boca Grande Pass, one of the most iconic Tarpon fisheries on the planet. With top-tier electronics, a live bait well, GPS, fishfinder, and a fighting chair on board, you’re set up to do battle with these giants in comfort and confidence.

You can choose between:

6-Hour Tarpon Trip – Great for anglers looking to put in serious effort and increase the odds of hooking into one of these legendary fish.

8-Hour Full-Day Tarpon Trip – For those ready to go all-in, this extended trip gives you plenty of time to fish different tides and move with the bite.

Captain Andy provides Penn rods and reels, live bait, lures, fishing licenses, and cold water on ice. You’re welcome to bring snacks or lunch, especially on the full-day trip. And after the action, your captain will clean and fillet any catch that’s legal and kept—though most anglers release Tarpon to fight another day.

Whether you're a first-time Tarpon hunter or a seasoned angler returning for redemption, Captain Andy will guide you every step of the way. With over a decade of experience in Southwest Florida waters, he’s dialed in on how to put you in the right place at the right time.

Ready to battle the Silver King? Book your Tarpon trip with Captain Andy today and get ready for the fight of a lifetime!

Very enjoyable charter with over 20 hookups in 4 hours. We requested targeting snook, redfish and any other "filet and release" species. Snook and redfish were abundant although many were short they were a great fight. Highly recommend Captain Andy.
